I recently started experiencing a problem with the gauges and rocker switches in my 2000 175 Seaswirl with a Volvo penta 3.0. When I flip any of the rocker switches on, the engine alarm sounds, the gauges go crazy, the switch light does not come on and the accessory doesn't work (this is with the engine on or off). I checked all of the obvious things like a bad ground, but was stumped. I did notice that the blower rocker switch light would flicker momentarily when the switch was flipped, so I started playing with the switch and slowly rocked the switch back and forth until the light stayed on and voila! The light stayed on and everything was good again.
My question is: could a bad rocker switch cause all those problems? I hope it's as simple as that.
